Ball-bearings in an off-road car must be properly maintained for smooth operation and long lifespan. The XB4 ball-bearings are degreased and are lubricated with HUDY Bearing Oil or HUDY Grease. The following procedures are recommended to clean all of the bearings in your off-road car. For high- competition racing, we recommended doing this every 3-4 weeks, or before a major race.
